From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.
What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
Inspector spoke to the pilot on may 9, 2022. Pilot explained that he is fairly new to the aircraft and only has about 35 hours in his privately owned Mooney. He made a normal landing in Rutland Vermont on runway 19, but failed to remember to lower the landing gear. Aircraft stopped on the centerline of the runway with minimal damage. Weather was VMC and not a contributing factor.
